I have several red wine kits I have made in the last few weeks that I have stabilized per the instructions. I am planning to rack the first one again soon and plan to add 1/4 tsp k-meta.
I hope to get a ph and so2 meter over the summer so k-meta addition is not guesswork, but for now am trying to decide how to do the addition
I plan to age all the wines at least 6 months before bottling.
Is there any advantage to adding multiple amounts of k-meta?, like 1/4 tsp now, 1/4 in 3 months, etc and by fall I should be able to confirm the levels.
Or is there any issue with adding 1/2tsp now? Is it better to add small amounts over time or all at once?
I use the all-in-one pump to vacuum rack 3 times to clear c02, and then rack at about 1 month and 3 months, and probably not again to 6 months.
Thanks, Pat
